Why is that when faced with the prospect of greatness Republican "leadership" aspire to mediocrity? - perhaps they belong to the DNC?

Why people insist on remaining with the OP(formerly the GOP) party, that has been determined to eschew Conservative principles for decades defies logic.

Cantor certainly spouted the Tea Party line at CPAC 2010—I thought the repubs had finally gotten the message.

The first fact that we need to understand is that anything written by Eric Erickson at Redstate.com is automatically suspect.

That alone makes me thing this article is bunkum.

The law that is known as "obamacare" is really a death plan!!!!

And this death plan will also raise health care costs. Pay more and get a lot less--that is the obama way!

Repeal and Start Over is the ONLY WAY to obliterate the death plan! It will give us a chance to have a heath care system that is good for patients, doctors, and innovator health companies--NOT for corrupt unions and politicians, and for "bioethicists", muslims, and MEChA/La Raza activists who want us to accept a "duty to die"!!!!

I had great hopes for Cantor.

Apparently, he’s a dud.

Boehner probably doesn't want to be Speaker, or he knows he won't be already. Cantor is simply sucking up to the Democrats ~ and he knows better.

If these people want to be in the leadership ranks they will have to start following what Republicans are up to.

Ghandi supposedly said upon observing a mob "There go my people. I must follow them because I am their leader."

They won’t get theirs approved. They need too many votes. If i had to guess as to a plan as opposed to incompetance i would say its a bad time to have the King bill go to a vote. Why give dems i close races a chance to repudiate the obvious dead weight of Obama at this time? So put up a sure to fail alternative and when that happens go ahead with the straight foward measure.
I have to think there are plenty of dems would vote to repeal it now in their hour of desperation ahead of the mid terms.
Just for the record i’m not one that looks for conspiracies but it just seems too obvious that plenty of dems would jump at the chance to have this vote to save their seats.

hmmm...isn’t it Redstate that just stabbed everyone in the back by working for the enemy...CNN!?!

This is just much ado about nothing imho. There is nothing wrong with having an internal debate on which is the best strategy. ‘Repeal and Replace’ or ‘Repeal’...either way..’repeal’ is the operative word. I haven’t read either bill yet, but based on the content of this article, it’s not time to panic.

This article appears to be false. According to another source, Boehner and Cantor are going to discharge King's petition:

"Republican leaders John Boehner and Eric Cantor are going to be signing disharge petitions on measures by Steve King and Wally Herger that would repeal parts or all of the Democrats’ health-care bill. The petitions are procedural maneuvers that will force votes that have no chance of passing in the Congress, but remain important for two reasons. First, now that the passed law has proven to be no more popular than the proposed legislation, the votes will put Democratic members on the record once again in favor of what is and will likely continue to be an unpopular law. In addition, a number of Republican members have noted to me that Democrats are tired of talking about health care and desperate to drive the topic out of the conversation. Unfortunately for them, these petitions will keep the health bill on the table, and force Democrats to defend it, even as the American people learn in greater detail why they don’t like what’s in it.

Most people do not understand that the republican party is supporting the socialist takeover of America. Sen. McConnel the republ;ican leader doesn’t force the democrats to read any bills on the senate floor, thereby assisting the socialists hiding just what is really in the bill.

Our country is already lost because of the number of progressives hiding in the house and senate as republicans.

They should already be against Kagan the ultra-progressive, but sadly they are not.

IMHO any republican that votes for Kagan should be voted out of office at the very next chance.

This montrosity will not be repealed until conservatives get the white house and the two Houses of Congress.

Some of us are running on a platform to repeal the healthcare bill, to gut the federal government, reduce all budgets and completely restructure the tax system. I feel that there are some like this running in every state and we can win the day, but we are not getting any help form the GOP.
